Cloudiness in a padparadscha will look dull in colour and loss in its brilliance. They are commonly heated due to the extremely scarcity from the mines of Sri Lanka, Madagascar and Tanzania.
The feminine pink sapphire is indeed one of the unique attractive shade for jewellery. However the price value of padparadscha sapphire is a premium above the pink sapphire for its rarity.
